Media and Ribbon Sensor

Sensitivity Calibration

This calibration is one of the most

common adjustments made to

printer settings. The printer resets

the sensitivity of the sensors

specifically for the media and

ribbon that you are using. If you

change the type of ribbon and/or

media, you might need to reset the

sensitivity of the media and ribbon

sensors. When the sensors are at

their new sensitivity, the printer

performs an auto-calibration.

Select the MEDIA AND RIBBON

CALIBRATE option on the

control panel. See Calibrate

Media and Ribbon Sensor

Sensitivity on page 97 for

instructions.
